UNDERAGED BRIDE HONOR MURDERED FOR CONTACTING FIANCE

A Yemeni father has burned his 15-year-old daughter to death for keeping in touch with her fiance, police said, sparking further outrage in Yemen, where an eight-year girl died from internal bleeding on her wedding night a month ago.

Police said a 35-year-old man had been arrested after the teenager's death in a remote village in the central Taiz province.

"The father committed this heinous crime on the pretext that his daughter had been keeping contacts with her fiance," the police website said on Tuesday, giving no further details. [...]

Traditional tribal customs in parts of Yemen prohibit contacts between men and women before marriage. Poverty and concern about "family honour" prompts many Yemenis to marry off their daughters young, often below the age of 18, a practice that has been criticised by international rights groups.

Those Yemenis Muslims are such perverts. I wouldn't be surprised if the fionce was overage, in sharp contrast to the fiancee. But I seriously doubt any justice will ever be found for the 2 victims in such a hellhole.
